Commercial-OSS-on-Solaris patch... --ryan. Date: Sun, 14 Aug 2005 23:06:40 -0500 From: Shawn Walker <binarycrusader@gmail.com> To: sdl@libsdl.org Subject: [SDL] [PATCH] Audio Detection Bug When using the OSS commercial drivers under Solaris 10, SDL will not properly initialise OSS audio support (dsp) if /dev/sound exists. Under Solaris (as far as I understand) /dev/sound is provided as a means of accessing a BSD style audio device, not the OSS device. SDL assumes that if /dev/sound exists, then it must be running on a Linux 2.4 system and should make the dsp device path /dev/sound/dsp. This is wrong. When using the OSS commercial drivers under Solaris, the dsp device is always referenced as /dev/dsp normally. My proposed fix is to stat the dsp device in /dev/sound to make sure it exists, before assuming /dev/sound/dsp as the audio device: http://icculus.org/~eviltypeguy/SDL_audiodev.patch I'm sure there may be a better way to do it, but the above patch is what worked for me. --=20 Shawn Walker, Software and Systems Analyst binarycrusader@gmail.com - http://binarycrusader.blogspot.com/

The latest development version of SDL is available via CVS:

cvs -d :pserver:guest@libsdl.org:/home/sdlweb/libsdl.org/cvs login
# No password, so just hit enter when prompted for a password
cvs -d :pserver:guest@libsdl.org:/home/sdlweb/libsdl.org/cvs checkout SDL

When you check a fresh copy of SDL out of CVS, you need to generate
the files used by make by running the "autogen.sh" script, which will
run aclocal, automake, autoconf and then run configure.

There is a web interface to cvs at http://www.libsdl.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi
